“Master’s good friend?” He asked softly, unable to stop himself from probing.
“Yes!”
“Is it Old Man Cheng?”
Hearing this, Shi Nuannuan could not help but be very surprised. “You know him?”
“Yes, I heard Mr. Shi mention that Master has an old friend in Z Country.”
“Oh, I see.”
Through the phone, Shi Nuannuan could neither see Xiangyi’s slightly lonesome face at this moment, nor could she sense his mood.
“When are you and Brother coming back?” She missed him.
After confirming their relationship, she had been starting to miss him so much.
It had only been a few days since they last saw each other.
“It might take a few more days, after Mr. Shi has settled the matter.”
“Oh.” Her voice was obviously filled with disappointment.
And Xiangyi did not miss the change in her tone. He smiled slightly and attempted to gently coax her. “Do you want a gift?”
When she heard about the gift, Shi Nuannuan immediately revealed a smile. “Yes!”
“What do you want?”
“Hmm…” After thinking for a long time, Shi Nuannuan could not think of a single gift. Clothes and fashion were no longer something new to her. She needed a more meaningful gift!
“Why don’t you take a photo for me now?”
This gift was better than anything else because she really missed him!
Xiangyi was slightly stunned.
A photo?
He had lived for more than twenty years and had never taken a selfie before.
“Then shall we exchange?” He also missed her.
“Sure!”
The two of them hung up the phone. Shi Nuannuan couldn’t wait to take a selfie. She posed in a cute and playful way for her selfie.
She generously took a few photos and sent them over via Wechat.
Not long after, she also received a photo from Xiangyi.
“So handsome…” Shi Nuannuan fell in love with him all over again as she looked at his photo.
As he flipped through the photos that she sent over, Xiangyi’s lips unconsciously curled up into a smile. However, when he flipped to the last photo, the smile on his lips suddenly disappeared.
It was a photo of Cheng Huan’s back.
His heart felt a little uncomfortable as if it had been hit by something.
He heard footsteps approaching and saw Shi Yuting walking out of the house. He put his phone away and hid the discomfort in the bottom of his heart.
“Mr. Shi.”
“Are you sure that there is no trace of Shi Tiannan in C Country?” asked Yuting as he sat in the black Bentley.
Xiangyi sat in the passenger seat and returned to his calm expression. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve just received news that he seems to have gone to Z Country.”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting’s eyes turned cold.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” Xiangyi nodded with absolute certainty.
Shi Yuting closed his eyes as if he was deep in thought.
Although he grew up in Z Country, Shi Tiannan did not have any connections there. Why would he suddenly go to Z Country?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.
He quickly looked up, and his handsome face turned very serious. “Prepare to return to Z Country!”
Xiangyi could not help but be slightly stunned by his sudden decision. “Now?”
“Right away!”
“But the parliament…”
“I’m not going. Anyway, the new president has been chosen. Just say that I have nothing to do with it.”
Xiangyi was stunned for half a second before he nodded. “Yes.”
The black Bentley quickly drove to the private airport. At noon, Shi Yuting could not wait to board the plane and fly to Z Country!
…
In the afternoon, Shi Nuannuan had just eaten lunch and wanted to go back.
Since she came to the Cheng residence, the two old men seemed to have endless things to talk about and always asked Cheng Huan to accompany her.
